Fox Footy AFL Season 2016 Predictions

Featured Replies

Posted

I remember watching last years Fox Footy season predictions and Melbourne was predicted a couple times, possibly more, as wooden spooners. Was great scrolling through the list and seeing nothing but Bummers, Carlscum and Lions as finishing on the bottom. Until I saw this...

Dont know if he's genuinely delusional and can't see the massive progress we've made, or if he just really has it in for this great club. Maybe he's trying to be controversial. Either way, what are all our thoughts on McLure? Seems like an irrelevant stubborn idiot. The kind of dinosaur who'd cut sick if his daughter brought home a boyfriend who wasn't white.

Maclure is way too over emotional. He takes a small point which may be valid and turns it into Armageddon.

He is rarely correct in his predictions . The problem with fox footy is they are on 7 days a week covering every game and this requires a raft of commentators and "experts". 

To quote a number of coaches - "we really need to close the gap between our best and our worst" (Maclure to me is one of the worst)

 

Mclure is a parasite plain and simple.

It continues to amaze me that Fox footy continue to hire this [censored] year after year. He adds nothing but ourdated tactics that might have worked in the 70s. 

The quicker he is irrelevant the better.

if we finish below Essendon and Carlton we deserve to be in the VFL and Hogan won't be joining us there haha


McClure:  Plenty of emotion, no analysis, no cognitive ability, no understanding of the modern game, no common sense.  That's the kindest way I can put it!

Let's just all call it  Maclure is a dlckhead !!

How you can have even the likes of the Boos and the Druggies above us is laughable.

Learnt to disregard him eons ago. Cant take seriously. Wgat an idiot.

Who cares what Maclure thinks?

I tend to agree, but I also certainly get my back up when an unrealistic call is made when we don't deserve it anymore.


Really just shows his ineptitude. The great thing is that these days, there wouldn't be anyone agreeing with that.

I provided my insights about Maclure via a twitter response.

 

Can't stand the [censored]. However, he does sum up the general public apathy towards our club. Outside of those astute enough to realise we are on the up, the general bogan thinks we're a basketcase still. It's going to be lovely sticking it right up a few this year - they will still be making excuses about losses to us for the majority of the year, before the average idiot cottons on to it

McClure is a buffoon. Exists in the media solely to target the oaf demographic.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
